Well, it’s a start…

Evidently the top-3 GOP candidates have tried (at least a little) to distance themselves from the idiocy that Ann Coulter has become.

And I realize a lot is being made of this, but I think it’s warranted. Ann Coulter has gone beyond being a help to the conservative cause. She rarely if ever has anything constructive to offer anymore that would have any value to the country. She wants to hawk books and raise her speech fees.

I just don’t see what worth she has to the conservative agenda anymore. She has no ideas, she’s become a yap-dog at the heels of things that are really important. I used to get a chuckle from her rants from time to time, but in the last few months (or maybe a year) it’s just become painful to see the spiral she’s taken.

A once-valuable voice is now valueless, and even hurtful to the very cause that made her famous. What she doesn’t seem to realize is that the party, and the conservative movement, are much larger than she is, and can and should move ahead without her.

She’s become a LaRouche-ian character, a zealot who actually deserves much of the mockery that she tries to shower on others. A sad shell of a woman who once commanded affirmative nods of the head is now reduced to a publicity whore who barely deserves more than the sympathetic head-down, side-to-side “oh my God, why does she say stupid stuff like that” reaction.

It’s time for the GOP and the conservative “world” to disavow her for good. Let her go the way of David Brock and Arianna Huffington, two others who went off the deep-end and became policy and movement has-beens. Not the greatest of fates for anyone, but one that she has invited. And she can always get guest gigs on MSNBC. Olberman and Matthews love washed-up and wacky nutjobs like her.
